hrough each session and helped us feel so comfortable. She is a true expert with great vision. She also went above and beyond to help bring some ideas we had to life. Ultimately, she exceeded our expectations and made both days super fun! We also appreciated her communication, timely turnaround times, and overall positive attitude and go-with-the-flow calm presence. I couldn’t recommend Heather more highly!

rn my brain off and just have fun with my husband and our wedding party during portraits. She got amazing pictures during our ceremony and reception as well, and I barely noticed she was there. As someone who worries about a lot of things, especially being in the limelight, it was so nice to have a photographer who was so organized and considerate and got every photo we could’ve wanted without being in our face. If you are in search of a photographer for anything, whether it be a photo shoot or event, I HIGHLY recommend Heather Richter.

e understood my request and she responded that no job was too small. She asked me questions about the types of pictures that I wanted to capture. Since I didn't really know... I just wanted her to capture everything so I could remember my special day. During the wedding Heather fit in like part of the family. She was quiet and professional, and had a great eye for detail. The finished work product far exceeded ALL of my expectations. The quality of the digital photo album was fantastic. The album contained a variety of GREAT shots. I would definitely, highly recommend Heather Richter Photography services without hesitation. MYB
